At the gym where I work, we post monthly challenges on a bulletin board. You can do them on your own or with friends. The idea is to test yourself at the beginning of the month and then try to beat your performance a couple of weeks later. Here are the two challenges. Try them yourself and then again next week.
General Challenge:
Set a running stopwatch, and do 40 push-ups and 60 squats as fast as you can. Break up the repititions however you want (4 push-ups and 6 squats for 10 rounds is one example), and rest as you need to. Write down your time, and try to beat it next time. *You can do modified push-ups from your knees or against a counter-top if you need to.
Advanced Challenge:
Set a 3 minute timer, and do 10 pull-ups, 30 push-ups, and 60 squats before the timer goes off. *Only full reps count (pulls--all the way down and chin above your hands, push-chest touches the floor, squats-butt goes below your hips). **For a real challenge, do this in less than 2 minutes.
Share your score below.
